Deer Ranch

Wow, how fun!! Beautifully kept grounds and happy, healthy looking animals. Their admissions fee was very, very reasonable, as was the price for cups of deer food. Highly recommend feeding the deer. If you’re lucky, you could get wild birds to eat out of your hand, too! There was a great young man working the counter, and the gift shop was welcoming, clean, and not overly-crowded. The one thing I will say is that the bathroom door didn’t, at least while we were there, lock! Especially with a lot of kids around, that seems like a recipe for disaster.

Reasonably priced, neat gift shop, super fun to see all the deer especially fawns and big bucks. The owners (or whoever was running the place) were super nice and even dog sat our puppy while we went through the ranch (dogs not allowed in the deer area due to predator-prey relationship). Feeding the deer was fun (pro tip…they like the grain mixture best). Well worth the $.

Interesting, little stop! Nice gift shop, and it's cool to see them up close, though, in Michigan, we're used to seeing them a bit too close to our cars. You can buy a cup of food for $1, though some deer were disinterested, probably due to so many feeding them. The albino deer were very cool to see! The entry fee was about $6.

One of our favorite places to visit in the Upper Peninsula! We live to interact and feed the deer. The gift shop is always nice and the ladies working are super friendly. Highly recommend making this and part of your trip!

We enjoyed ourselves! The deer were cool, and it was unique to be able to feed them. The baby fawns were adorable!!! The bucks wouldn't get up though....they just laid in the shade snoozing.
